## Abstract The locomotion of primates differs from that of other mammals in three fundamental ways. During quadrupedal walking, primates use diagonal sequence gaits, protract their arms more at forelimb touchdown, and experience lower vertical substrate reaction forces on their forelimbs relative

In this paper we put forward a model for growth-cone locomotion in which the actin cytoskeleton is represented by a two-dimensional contractile network and the growth-cone membrane is represented by contractile segments coupled with the actin network. Our computer simulation suggests that many mecha
